Parsian Energy Intensive Industries Special Economic Zone (PEISEZ) is
located on 9,800 hectares, 40 km east of Assaluyeh, on the border of
Hormuzgan, Bushehr and Fars provinces. This area was designated as a special
economic zone upon a decision by the Iranian Parliament in 1389 (2010/11)
and endorsed by the government in 1390 (2011/12).

PEISEZ has been set up with macro targets such as steel, aluminum, alumina,
petrochemicals and supporting industries such as power plant and
desalination plant, port and pier. The comprehensive plan of the special
zone was approved in the latest review in 1394 (2015/16) with quantitative
objectives including 4 million tons of steel, 600 thousand tons of aluminum,
3 million tons of alumina, 18 million tons of petrochemicals and 4,300
megawatts of electricity.

The actions taken in this area can be summarized in four sections: studies,
completed infrastructures, licenses, and ongoing infrastructures, as
follows:

Parsian Port

Parsian Special Economic Zone with the aim of annual production of 4 million
tons of steel, 18 million tons of petrochemicals, 600 thousand tons of
aluminum, 3 million tons of alumina powder, needs to build a harbor complex
of industries and minerals, including 19 piers with an annual capacity of 40
million tons of loading and unloading.

In its Horizon Plan, the Parsian Port will have 19 pier terminals as
follows:

11 pier terminals for public goods

1 container pier terminal

1 liquid bulk pier terminal

1 general pier terminal / container

5 dry bulk pier terminals

Loading, Unloading Capacity of 40 Million Tons Annually

According to the Horizon Plan, Parsian Port will add 40 million tons to the
country’s final capacity of loading and unloading annually. Located in the
boundary between Shahid Rajaee Port and the Port of Khorramshahr, along the
approximate distance of 2000 km, Parsian Port is the largest port in this
part that has specialized industrial, mining and commercial piers. In other
words, the port has the largest loading and unloading capacity in the west
of Strait of Hormuz between Shahid Rajaee Port to the Port of Khorramshahr.

Among the country’s ports, Parsian Port is the closest to Qatar ports and
can link Iran with Qatar and its gas fields.
The port is designed to be used for various industrial applications such as
dry bulk and liquid bulk, including export of various petrochemical,
commercial and container products.

At present, according to the current needs of this region, the first phase
of this port including 4 quay terminals with a capacity of loading and
unloading of 9 million tons has started as of the middle of 1396 (2017/18).
The first phase of the Parsian Port has a liquid bulk bunker terminal, a dry
bulkhead terminal and two general cargo terminals and container. The depth
of the port’s water supply is 15.4 meters in this phase, which will carry a
capacity of 70,000 tons of floating vessels. In addition, the depth of the
port’s catchment in the final phase will increase to 17 meters, which will
allow the arrival of 100-thousand-ton vessels.
Currently, the first phase of this port is running at a cost of 170 million
euros with a physical progress of 20%, and according to the plans, by the
end of the calendar month of Mehr (ending October 22), a dry bulk pier from
this port will be put into operation.
